When you defer your acceptance to a medical school for a year, can you apply to other medical schools and possibly end up going to a different school the next year?

or does the school require you to sign a document that you can't apply or attend other medical schools?

or can you continue the application cycle while attending the medical school? and if you get accepted to another school, can you withdraw from the first school and attend the new school the next cycle?

MD schools know that you've been accepted somewhere by early spring.

Also, I believe that when you ask for a deferral, you have to give a damn good reason. They're not handed out willy-nilly. if you look at MSAR, deferrals are RARE.

Worried about CNU????? I think that you should be.

Nope. On your app you have to state if you've been accepted. Now what do you think will happen when when they find out you're doing this?

Nobody is going to defer you so that you can apply again.
You will sign a waiver that stipulates this on receipt of the deferral.
